Blame the Democrats

Editor: This letter is in response to the Associated Press article on young (Gov. Pat) McCrory staff members receiving big government salaries. As if it is a news flash that people who work for the campaign of a candidate get government jobs, you thought it necessary to report it. You also received the information from a blog that you call "left-leaning." Let's state some facts, North Carolina Justice Center is not left-leaning, it is a socialist, bigoted, Democrat organization.

You also received the information from a blog that you call "left-leaning." Let's state some facts, North Carolina Justice Center is not left-leaning, it is a socialist, bigoted, Democrat organization.The fact that we have a president who gets up every morning, goes to his office in the White House and spits on the Constitution, and we get nothing of substance in this newspaper is appalling. Obama uses the IRS to target conservative groups, EPA to destroy coal and fund the solar mistake, Justice Department gun running in Mexico and let us not leave out the Mack Daddy, ObamaCare.I have read about poor teacher pay for 30 years. Is the pay of teachers the only thing you have to push in the face of North Carolina taxpayers that McCrory is doing something wrong?If you want to make a comparison on the pay of state employees, look at the last 50 years when Democrats ran the state with an iron fist. If a local Democrat in Davidson County lost an election, he got a state job. This was a safety net afforded to only Democrat politicians.I have an even better idea: Let the Republicans run the state for the next 100 years. It will take that long to rid the state of the cancer called political patronage that the Democrats have left the state in.Thomas FrankLexington
